00:00:00.000
morning so i don't know if you can see me or hear me on locals but you can see me and hear me on
00:00:07.040
rumble and on youtube and on x so this is uh the pre-show
00:00:19.120
normally the uh local subscribers are the only ones who see me before the beginning of the
00:00:24.160
regular show but trying to work out some technical problems which includes trying to take off my jacket
00:00:36.640
all right can anybody give me a sense of whether you can see me and hear me
00:00:43.360
all right so the rumble studio worked to initiate the stream okay all right
00:00:51.440
i don't know if everything was working but got a few things working all right like i said this is
00:00:58.480
the pre-show so there's no show yet this is generally just for the locals people to chat with each other
00:01:09.440
and share some memes um i'm only seeing locals though okay it looks like uh
00:01:23.840
yeah we got locals we've got youtube rumbles working now i think x is working all right uh this is the
00:01:33.200
point where if you were watching the pre-show you would see me disappear because i have to go over to
00:02:04.000
so what what you're seeing if you're just coming in is normally i do a pre-show just for the local
00:02:32.640
subscribers but the locals app had a hiccup this morning so i'm coming to you also on locals but
00:02:41.920
via the rumble studio which appears to be working just fine so this portion of the show is not real
00:02:53.120
this one is just so you can chat with each other or ask me questions or hang out a little bit
00:03:33.200
well i feel like i shouldn't start early because the people who
00:03:46.480
the people who have been trained to come at this top of the hour are going to be hey
00:03:52.640
you didn't tell me you're going to start early i'm going to tim pool it all all over the place here
00:04:02.080
tim pool and no i'm not tim pool nobody's tim pool but tim pool
00:04:24.720
all right we got seven minutes just hanging out
00:04:56.800
because i thought i fixed it and cleaned the drum and followed all the ai instructions
00:05:02.480
but uh looks like a number of my topics i'm gonna have to skip because they didn't print
00:05:18.480
all right i can work through this though i'll make it work
00:05:32.480
which sometimes are a problem but they've been good lately
00:05:48.480
boom 97 percent that's actually higher than my baseline my baseline is 95 because i have asthma
00:06:03.200
i've never i'll bet you that's the highest i've ever
00:06:26.560
get a laser printer it is a laser printer believe it or not it is a laser printer but it's black and white
00:07:00.480
that i should have a strong opinion about candace owens
00:07:03.600
do i need to why why can't she just do her top rated podcast and you can decide if you like it or you don't like it
00:07:19.040
be worth you know yeah i don't know if the thing she says are
00:07:24.320
we'll check out how would i know i know that she is very entertaining and very talented
00:07:45.760
that my opinion on the topic makes any difference
00:08:01.120
from my book reframe your brain which is one of the best things you could ever buy
00:08:06.800
for a christmas gift this assumes you have already you've already purchased the dilbert calendar
00:08:12.640
look it's a commercial the dilbert calendar this year and last year
00:08:18.960
had comics on the front and the back and on the back were the new spicy ones
00:08:32.400
we'll start the regular show at the top of the hour this is the pre-show
00:08:37.360
all right uh here's one of my favorite and most powerful reframes
00:08:46.000
so the usual frame the way people normally think is that overeating if you do overate
00:08:53.040
it's a willpower problem if you add more willpower uh you can avoid eating that cookie
00:09:01.280
here's a reframe that's better overeating is a knowledge problem it's a knowledge problem
00:09:08.720
you know how um many of you already know that the uh the reframe uh alcohol is poison
00:09:18.480
was enough to make a whole bunch of people stop drinking
00:09:21.360
so the way you think about things will influence what you do and i find that if i think about food
00:09:32.080
as a knowledge problem and i know which things are good for me and which are not
00:09:37.600
i just automatically eat better so as long as you think about it as a knowledge problem
00:09:44.560
you'll just automatically gravitate to better food with no no real effort for example if you didn't
00:09:52.800
know that sugar donuts are a little bit bad for you you know too much sugar etc if you didn't know that
00:10:02.320
wouldn't you eat them of course you would but if i told you a sugar donut would
00:10:08.480
you know give you a 50 chance of getting diabetes which is not not true but just work with me here
00:10:15.280
would it be hard to avoid it it would not it would not so just knowing more about which foods are going
00:10:22.640
to be good for you and which are bad really just replaces willpower because you don't really want to
00:10:30.880
do things that are bad for you it just comes naturally that's why alcohol is poison uh is such
00:10:39.440
a strong reframe if you're just joining the reason i started early today is that the locals app was
00:10:48.880
having a hiccup so normally i do a pre-show before the regular show just for the subscribers but the
00:10:57.760
the pre-show wasn't working so i told them to skedaddle over here and now they're all joining you
00:11:07.360
those of you who are joining early so this will be interesting i want to see what happens at the
00:11:12.880
top of the hour here we go top of the hour you ready
00:11:30.640
good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called coffee with scott
00:11:36.320
atoms you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience
00:11:43.120
to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains all you need for that
00:11:50.240
is a copper mug or a glass a tiger chalice a stein canteen sugar fast flask a vessel of any kind
00:12:00.480
does this sound to you like there's a giant garbage truck parked right outside my door
00:12:07.360
i don't know what that is but it's very loud i don't i hope the microphone is not picking that up
00:12:12.640
anyway uh fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee
00:12:17.600
and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes
00:12:22.320
everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go
00:12:29.040
oh so good so good well let's check the uh let's check the technology news
00:12:44.720
the science news and find out what science is teaching us well according to the mit technology
00:12:52.880
review michelle kim is writing that ai chat bots can sway voters better than political advertisements
00:13:01.360
that's right if you let somebody interact with a chat bot uh the chat bot will be more persuasive than
00:13:10.080
a commercial does that surprise you it should not because uh you're probably thinking to yourself wait
00:13:17.920
scott have you not taught us that the documentary effect is very persuasive even if it shouldn't be
00:13:26.480
yeah the the the uh influence from having one point of view uh reinforced you know with either
00:13:37.760
watching a documentary for an hour with no counterpoint would be very similar i would think
00:13:45.040
to having a chat bot that also had only one point of view that it considered valid so um yes a chat bot
00:13:54.480
should be more persuasive and i think we're also as humans we're also sort of built to assume that humans
00:14:04.640
might lie to us because they have personal interests where if you knew you were talking to an ai
00:14:11.520
you wouldn't necessarily feel that it's so obvious that the ai had a personal interest because it
00:14:19.840
wouldn't have a personal interest but it would certainly be um presented by someone who did so in
00:14:27.120
theory we should be just as suspicious of the ai as we would be of the person who built the ai but i
00:14:35.040
don't think we would i think it would be more persuaded just as the study shows i think you would be
00:14:41.680
more persuaded by the ai because you would think well the ai isn't going to lie to me is it well it might
00:14:48.480
or might hallucinate in other news and this is technology news according to the conversation
00:14:59.600
people who talk with their hands seem more clear and persuasive how many of you already knew that
00:15:07.600
that if people talk with their hands they can be way more persuasive than if they don't
00:15:14.160
but the key is you can't randomly use your hands so it's bad to be governor newsom
00:15:24.400
and do jazz hands because we always mock him because it looks like he's lying
00:15:32.800
and it looks like his hands are like not even connected to his brain
00:15:37.520
i don't even know why my hands are doing this really
00:15:52.160
so that would be an example of not persuasive but if you are saying that something is huge
00:16:00.640
huge and you use your hands the hand would be compatible with the message huge something's
00:16:08.160
going up something's taller than this that tends to be very persuasive so do more of that and less of
00:16:16.880
this don't do that all right i know what i just did to myself there that will get clipped
00:16:24.800
remind me never to do that again you you have my permission to drive to my house and slap me
00:16:38.960
not really don't slap me um let's see what else
00:16:43.760
oh here's a good one the wall street journal is reporting according to daniel axe that uh the more
00:16:54.880
oxytocin you have the faster you'll heal so apparently they've done tests where you can heal your wounds
00:17:05.440
faster oh my god there's just like a gigantic mechanical noise right outside my door
00:17:13.760
what the heck is that i'm glad it doesn't show up in the microphone um okay now it's gone but uh
00:17:20.960
wall street journal reporting that if you have oxytocin that would be the intimacy chemical if you're
00:17:28.160
intimate with somebody you love you get more oxytocin well apparently that's good for your healing now
00:17:36.640
i like to put a couple of things together here uh so if you want to be more persuasive
00:17:46.000
you would talk with your hands and you would use that to persuade somebody to be intimate with you
00:17:53.760
hey wouldn't you like to with me see how persuasive that was if i had done that without my hands
00:18:04.560
would you even be tempted to have sex with me no not even a little bit watch this will be without
00:18:10.320
the hands hey how would you like to have sex with me absolutely nothing would you agree that was not
00:18:18.720
persuasive not one of you said oh that's a pretty good offer i i think i'd like to have sex with him
00:18:24.880
right now despite his weird looking hat but watch now i'm going to say the same thing again but with
00:18:31.120
hand motions hey why don't you have sex with me you see how persuasive that was i know no stop this
00:18:43.520
was just a demonstration i know some of you are putting on your jacket and looking up my address
00:18:49.120
and ready to drive over here but that was only demonstration calm down calm down it may have
00:18:56.480
elevated your oxytocin though for a moment so if you see any wounds that are instantly healing that's
00:19:03.760
that's for me you're welcome uh did you know that according to the university of vienna that pleasant
00:19:12.080
sounding words are easier to remember so they actually did a test where they gave people pleasant
00:19:19.600
sounding words versus ugly words you want to hear some ugly words moist moist is on the on the list of
00:19:37.040
so given that pleasant sounding words are easier to remember
00:19:42.320
um that means they're more persuasive because whatever tickles your memory the best tends to be
00:19:51.600
also the most persuasive so when i'm writing let's say professionally if i'm writing a book for example
00:19:59.760
the last step in my writing is i may go through and substitute more pleasant sounding words
00:20:08.160
words for words that are just a little ugly i used to do uh public speaking a lot one of the things i
00:20:14.800
would do during my public speaking is i would ask the assembled crowd which of these words is funnier so
00:20:23.600
i'd give them two words that mean about the same thing i'd say which which one is funnier pull as in
00:20:30.640
you're pulling something or yank which is almost the same thing not exactly and the entire crowd would say
00:20:40.320
as one yank there's something universal about words that sound right in general if you want to do humor
00:20:50.560
it's good to have words that have uh some hard sounds to them yank because you get the you get the k
00:20:58.160
but you also get the y so if you're if you're doing humor words that are not as often used
00:21:05.680
or they use letters that are not as often used q's and z's and y's um that's usually funnier
00:21:13.440
so the last level of my writing is i'll change the words to funny words if it's supposed to be a joke
00:21:20.800
or i'll change it to pleasant sounding words and i'll get rid of words like moist well
00:21:26.240
now i did write a whole book where i talked about moist robots um that did not catch on
00:21:35.680
it probably wasn't my best choice all right you may have heard that the pipe bomber from january 6
00:21:45.680
uh at least we think he's been arrested we're pretty sure we got the right guy i think
00:21:50.720
um as jake tapper described him that white guy so he says we found a white male who was the pipe
00:22:00.080
bomber the only problem was he is not white at all he apparently is a black man with a weird mustache
00:22:09.680
uh and uh i i i know of course obviously why jake tapper assumed it was a white man
00:22:17.920
man if i told you that somebody planted a bomb in the united states what do you think it was a black
00:22:26.880
guy you wouldn't would you because i don't i can't think of a single example of a black guy who planted
00:22:35.520
a bomb in america but if you said have any white guys planted any bombs i'd say well there's a unabomber
00:22:45.360
and i would just sort of assume it was a white guy crime so jake uh got a little ahead of himself
00:22:52.800
there but uh and then also did you see the way he was dressed the pipe bomb god what is that that
00:23:04.960
loud thing it's like a rocky ship outside my door uh
00:23:09.120
canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking but it requires actionable steps
00:23:19.120
now is the time to modernize canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better
00:23:25.520
alternatives by doing so we can create lasting change if you don't smoke don't start if you smoke
00:23:40.240
if you saw the way he was dressed in a unfashionable hoodie with unfashionable uh
00:23:48.880
footwear would you have assumed that was a black american no because you're racist you're racist and
00:23:56.800
you would have said hmm i think a black american would be far better dressed than that than that guy
00:24:04.160
so that's where your racism would have led you in the wrong direction
00:24:10.640
but the uh the fascinating part about the story uh sean davis had a good take on it that captures a
00:24:18.160
lot of what you were thinking so i'm just going to read what sean davis um did on x he of the
00:24:26.640
federalist right i hope i have that right uh he said uh based on the volume and type of evidence
00:24:33.120
about the pipe bomber contained in this affidavit affidavit it is inconceivable that the fbi didn't
00:24:41.360
know who the pipe bomber was back in 2021 it looks a heck of a lot like corrupt fbi agents knew for years
00:24:50.240
who the bomber was but went out of their way to confuse the investigation so they could refuse to make
00:24:56.400
a definitive identification and that goes a very long way toward explaining the latest anonymous fbi
00:25:04.960
agent up against dan bongino and cash patel bongino and patel removed the corrupt agents
00:25:13.680
reviewed the evidence and swiftly identified and arrested the subject once all the corrupt obstructors
00:25:21.280
were out of the way does that sound about what you were thinking it does doesn't it do you think it's a
00:25:29.920
coincidence that once uh bongino fired or relocated the people who were in charge of it that all of a
00:25:38.160
sudden it wasn't hard to find out who it was have you been amazed that this is the one guy they can't
00:25:45.120
find they're finding all these grandmothers from the january 6 event but they can't find this guy
00:25:52.480
despite all of the video of him and really you know you could show one toenail of one of the january
00:26:01.040
six people and uh our technology would say oh i know that toenail that toenail belongs to and then
00:26:08.000
we'd put him in jail that's the old way they did not belong in jail but that's what would have happened
00:26:15.120
but no this uh this guy was a total mystery so i'm going to say uh that i do not believe the fbi
00:26:23.840
couldn't find him uh i'm going to be firmly in the camp that doesn't know for sure
00:26:29.600
right don't know for sure not 100 but my working assumption is that the fbi was corrupt and the
00:26:38.160
people that were removed from the job were more likely intentionally uh avoiding catching him for
00:26:46.080
whatever reason uh rather than incompetence or you know inability it gets even weirder because apparently
00:26:55.440
he works as a bail bondsman and it's a family business so his father owns a bail bondsman
00:27:03.920
business must be doing pretty well because it looked like the house that this guy lives in
00:27:09.280
is a high-end house and i don't believe you get a high-end house because you're just an employee
00:27:17.200
of a bail bondsman but you might have one if you live with your parents so i don't know for sure
00:27:22.880
but i would guess probably living at his parents home now if you lived at your parents home
00:27:31.840
and your your dad was a bail bondsman which means he has some kind of affinity for or connection to
00:27:40.320
the law enforcement world do you think his father didn't recognize the video of his son
00:27:47.200
walking around with that hoodie and those sneakers do you think you wouldn't recognize your
00:27:52.560
own son if you saw them wearing the clothes that they probably wear at home you don't think you'd
00:28:00.320
recognize that so i have some questions for dad um it's you know if i found out tomorrow that he didn't
00:28:11.200
wear those clothes ever at home or that he knew that he would be recognized if he wore his own clothes
00:28:17.680
and he had these only for the purpose of disguise which is possible by the way well then i would say
00:28:23.920
well and even your father wouldn't recognize you under those conditions because his face
00:28:28.960
his face was completely concealed but i feel like you would recognize your own prodigy you know the way they
00:28:37.360
walk and especially the footwear uh let's see anyway i got i got the bail bondsman thing from grok so if it's
00:28:47.840
hallucinating um you've been warned all right you know what tim birchette he's republican representative
00:28:57.120
from tennessee apparently he has asked president trump to cut off all funding for the ngos the non-government
00:29:05.840
government organizations that have often been accused of being giant money laundering fraudulent
00:29:14.560
entities um he says that he wants him he wants trump to cut off all funding to the ngos
00:29:21.920
until they can figure out where all the money is actually going because a lot of it is going into
00:29:28.320
people's pockets and it appears to most of us now thanks to the good work of elon musk and doge we
00:29:36.960
finally learned that there's a gigantic mechanism for taking your tax money out of your pocket and putting
00:29:46.000
it in the pocket of strangers while pretending to feed the poor and this is not a small operation
00:29:54.560
we're talking billions of dollars um you know i i've told you i've been puzzled by how we could have
00:30:03.440
such a big deficit because it kind of happened fast didn't it i mean even if you even if you
00:30:10.320
allowed that the pandemic made things worse didn't it seem like we sort of instantly
00:30:16.000
got to this impossible you know place where we couldn't pay our debts and i have to admit from
00:30:24.000
the beginning i've been thinking is somebody just stealing it but it seemed like the numbers were so
00:30:31.360
big that nobody could steal that much money i mean you can't steal you can't steal a trillion dollars a
00:30:38.080
year and now i believe you could i believe you literally could steal a trillion dollars a year
00:30:47.600
with this ngo mechanism because any one any one entity might be getting a billion here a billion there
00:30:56.960
but there are thousands of them just thousands of them yeah you could steal a trillion dollars if you
00:31:03.680
if you really worked at it and apparently they were working pretty hard so i have a generally
00:31:10.400
good feeling about timber chet meaning that he seems like a good patriot who wants to do the right thing
00:31:17.280
and uh i i don't think that he's robbing anybody so he wouldn't have anything necessarily that he needs
00:31:24.480
to cover up he'd be hard to blackmail i doubt i doubt he's got a you know love child somewhere or
00:31:30.560
something so you need somebody who can't be blackmailed who's clearly a patriot and has a
00:31:37.280
real interest in going after something like this does that does that include somebody like tim
00:31:45.040
i think yes you know i've seen enough of him that i trust him i i mean it's just a feeling you know
00:31:51.680
nobody can know for sure what's in somebody's soul but he looks pretty trustworthy to me so i think
00:31:59.520
that would be worth a shot well as bjorn lomborg often says um if you don't know who he is you should
00:32:10.320
he's a uh some call him an economist but i don't know if he would call himself that
00:32:15.680
but he's uh taught us to look at both the costs and the benefits of climate change he does other things
00:32:22.720
as well but he's well known for that uh meaning that climate change might in fact make some things
00:32:31.040
worse but we always ignore how much better it makes things and he gives us his latest example
00:32:38.480
i think he's got an article in the wall street journal um that the the hurricane season which apparently is
00:32:45.680
over had no hurricanes hit landfall in the united states and probably climate change has something
00:32:54.960
to do with that so if you were to actually be honest about your climate change analysis which is what
00:33:02.480
bjorn lomborg is teaching us to do you would say well i mean you have to include even if you imagine
00:33:10.000
climate you know ruin some parts of the world eventually you'd have to add him but it did save
00:33:16.000
us a hurricane or two uh if in fact that becomes a a uh let's say that becomes a pattern it's not yet a
00:33:24.640
pattern but if it becomes one uh we should say hey maybe this climate change has as much good as bad
00:33:33.760
that would be the proper way to approach the analysis um no matter which way it ended up that would be the
00:33:40.400
way to go uh scott blame it on okay i don't know what that means i'm looking at your comments so we're
00:33:52.400
still talking about the uh allegation that pete hagseth ordered a double tap attack on the narco boat meaning
00:34:01.440
that there were a few survivors from the first missile but a second missile was uh dispatched to take
00:34:08.240
care of the the survivors and get rid of the weapon of mass destruction that would be the drugs that were
00:34:15.200
on the boat um but so the wall street journal had one version of events but it's been debunked by
00:34:23.600
abc news the new york times so the wall street i'm sorry the washington post i think i said that
00:34:31.760
wrong scratch that the washington post had the story that appears to be
00:34:38.400
bullshit um that hank seth somehow was watching the attack and ordered the second missile
00:34:46.320
and then they're they're acting like that would have been a war crime well let's ask somebody who
00:34:53.200
actually knows what they're talking about uh so apparently a individual named david shed who is a
00:35:00.560
former deputy director and acting director of the defense intelligence agency in the obama administration
00:35:08.560
so this is important he's an obama guy who says quote uh we use double taps all the time he said you would
00:35:20.320
get the initial signature uh sign off of a target that's been hit he uh he said in a podcast recently
00:35:28.480
and if you saw that they squirted i guess that must be some military term and were injured you hit them
00:35:34.960
again in fact he said there was often a second predator that would be a missile ready to go
00:35:42.000
wait is a predator a drone or a missile for our purposes it doesn't matter in fact he said there's
00:35:48.960
often a second predator ready to go that was fully expected to be used if he didn't have a hundred percent
00:35:55.040
coming out of the first hit and maybe a third hit adding that it was done routinely and there was
00:36:02.240
bipartisan support on the hill for doing it isn't that enough it isn't it's a drone people are saying
00:36:11.120
so the predator is a drone but isn't it enough that somebody who would be in that position who knows
00:36:18.960
exactly what is real and what isn't who's actually been in the field who's actually you know ordered
00:36:24.480
attacks if that person says it was routine is there anything else to talk about
00:36:32.240
you know the people who are acting like it's a war crime are just idiot democrats who sit behind
00:36:39.680
desks i don't know that there's any military people who think it's a war crime
00:36:46.800
anyway um apparently secretary hankseth has asked the navy admiral who is overseeing those operations in the
00:36:56.320
caribbean to step down uh because that officer had voiced concerns about what he called the murky
00:37:04.560
legality of the attacks do you think that if there had been some other president do you think that this
00:37:14.800
this admiral would have had that problem given that we do know with high certainty that it was routine
00:37:23.840
to have a double tap and even a triple tap if he needed it do you think that this navy admiral
00:37:31.120
didn't know that and do you think that if obama had been president or if nobody had even brought this
00:37:38.480
up as a potential issue if nobody had ever brought it up would he be worried about its murky legality
00:37:47.520
i don't think so so was this a good firing yeah yeah uh i think that was a good firing
00:37:56.640
all right so well he's not really fired fired he's just gonna retire a couple couple years early
00:38:02.880
which is fair i mean he didn't it's not like he committed a crime or something so a little bit
00:38:08.240
of early retirement seems seems about that seems appropriate i wouldn't take anything away from him
00:38:14.800
um let's see let's uh let's look at minnesota for a moment so i guess the uh speaker of whatever
00:38:27.200
their political situation is demuth speaker demuth uh talked about the budget forecast and that they're
00:38:35.920
going to be short three billion dollars so there's gonna have a three billion dollar deficit in minnesota
00:38:42.800
uh and uh speaker demuth said uh quote last year governor waltz blamed increases in social services
00:38:50.720
spending as the main driver of the deficit that was created but we now know that much of the increase
00:38:56.560
was the result of fraud yep as i've been saying in a hundred percent of situations where there's a lot of
00:39:07.600
money involved and people are not watching it carefully as in having a robust auditing situation
00:39:15.680
which is most of the government stuff does not have a robust auditing situation that the inevitable
00:39:23.040
outcome inevitable you can't you couldn't stop it if you wanted to if you have lots of money involved
00:39:29.600
and nobody's watching it in in the sense of an audit of course it's going to be stolen
00:39:38.160
of course it is it's not ever going to go a different direction there's one way that goes somebody steals
00:39:45.680
it and that's probably what's happening but at least new york state doesn't have any problems oh wait
00:39:54.160
uh apparently uh governor hochel when she was uh what was she when she was lieutenant governor had a
00:40:05.680
aide or an assistant who worked in as a no actually it was a chinese spy who was working as the deputy chief
00:40:14.400
diversity officer now that's a bad combination here are two things you never want number one
00:40:24.000
you don't want anybody on your staff who later turns out to be a chinese spy that by itself would be bad
00:40:32.080
enough the second thing you don't want is a chief diversity officer and god knows you don't want a
00:40:40.080
deputy chief diversity officer because that's two more than you really needed so this chinese spy was a
00:40:48.480
death it was the worst possible combination chinese spy and diversity officer um and she held that role
00:40:59.360
since 2018 i guess um to 2020 um and she said in some kind of document that was recovered that hochel was uh
00:41:11.600
sort of easy to manipulate but uh it looked like the only thing that hochel did that was sketchy
00:41:18.080
was do some pro china video that she was asked to do for the 2021 lunar new year
00:41:24.080
so elise stefanik who's running for governor i guess pointed out uh yeah that uh governor hochel got
00:41:33.440
co-opted by a chinese spy to do a pro chinese video
00:41:39.360
that's not the most damaging thing that could have happened um i i think uh hochel just thought
00:41:45.040
she was servicing the you know the chinese american part of her uh constituents which wouldn't be a
00:41:53.360
crime so none of it looks like a crime per se but it doesn't look good doesn't look good
00:42:01.280
it makes you wonder how many chinese spies have we not caught you ever wonder about that you know i
00:42:10.560
i have this theory that most uh shoe salesmen if they're if they're selling women's shoes that they
00:42:17.200
have uh foot fetishes and the reason is that someone with a foot fetish would be willing to work extra hard
00:42:26.720
for less money because they're getting that secondary benefit from being a shoe salesman if you know
00:42:32.240
what i mean you know what i mean so that over time the people who are willing to sell shoes women's shoes
00:42:40.400
but also really really enjoy it more than you hope that they would
00:42:45.040
that they would be mostly the shoe sales people because if you were competing against somebody who loved it
00:42:52.480
it would be hard to compete if you were just doing it because it was a job so that over time the people
00:43:00.400
who would do it just because it's a job would find other jobs and they would move through that to other
00:43:06.480
things but if you're really really like selling the shoes like really really liked it and you got that job
00:43:14.800
would you ever leave you wouldn't you'd be there for the rest of your life it's like i got the best job
00:43:20.000
ever so the theory is that if there's a type of job where one type of person would like to be there
00:43:29.200
forever for whatever reason that eventually the job will be mostly those people so now suppose that
00:43:36.960
you're tasked by your your spy masters in china to get high level jobs in the government would you ever
00:43:45.840
leave no you wouldn't even look for another job because you are whatever level it is job within
00:43:53.440
the government would be exactly what your spy master required of you so you'd be killing it career wise
00:44:01.120
so in theory if you wait long enough uh the entire government should be full of spies because they're the
00:44:09.120
ones who don't go looking for better jobs ever right am i wrong you tell me isn't the normal arc
00:44:20.400
that the government should be full of spies if not today then guaranteed
00:44:28.480
fairly soon you know within say 10 or 15 years and we've certainly had a government for more than 15 years
00:44:35.360
so uh anyway uh in funny news the post millennials reporting that tim waltz is upset because uh the
00:44:48.480
president called him the r word retarded and he says i've never seen this before people are driving by
00:44:56.720
my house and using the r word in front of people he said this is shameful i have yet to see elected
00:45:03.040
officials a republican elected officials say you're right that's shameful you shouldn't say it so
00:45:09.920
look wall says i'm worried we know uh we know how these things go now wait for this you thought that tim
00:45:18.640
waltz was dumb wait for this next sentence you ready for this uh he goes i'm worried we know how these
00:45:27.680
things go they start with taunts they turn to violence so deeply concerned waltz added okay let me pull it
00:45:36.800
all together so tim waltz believes it's entirely appropriate to call republicans and trump fascists
00:45:45.760
and you know sort of nazi-like and he's not worried that that would turn into violence
00:45:52.960
calling somebody literally not joking but literally a fascist and a nazi or words to that effect
00:46:04.160
but while that's not dangerous according to waltz um it would be dangerous that people jokingly drive
00:46:12.480
by his house and use the r word which they only do because it's funny
00:46:18.080
it's funny it's funny in the sense that it bothers the people they want to bother you know not because
00:46:24.160
it's true true but because it's funny and trump said it and he got away with it so it sort of opened
00:46:30.240
the floodgate but do you believe that tim waltz really believes what he said does he really believe
00:46:39.120
that the r word as he says is the dangerous one that could lead the slippery slope to somebody getting
00:46:45.680
stabbed it's like well it started with the r word and next thing you know stabbing whereas calling
00:46:54.400
somebody a fascist and not saying you're kidding and everybody knows you're not joking that you're
00:47:01.200
actually meanest you don't think that would lead to a little violence really really is that your actual
00:47:09.120
opinion i don't know in order to have an opinion like that you'd have to be some kind of a
00:47:17.520
you'd have to be some kind of a well you'd have to be some kind of a fascist
00:47:25.280
you thought i was going to say retard didn't you no i wouldn't use that word
00:47:30.880
meanwhile steve hilton you probably know him from
00:47:33.760
uh his work on fox news i don't don't know if he still has a show or if he's moved on to
00:47:41.360
running for a california governor well he has uh launched a tip line to expose fraud in california he
00:47:51.120
believes that as bad as the fraud was in is in minnesota billions and billions of dollars of fraud
00:47:58.880
that california is probably worse because it's a bigger state and it's been a blue state for longer
00:48:05.840
and those are good reasons more money more democrats probably more crime i'm saying
00:48:13.600
so he said this is based on my very strongly held assumption that whatever we're seeing in minnesota
00:48:20.400
is a thousand times worse than california because many more years of one party ruled by the democrats
00:48:28.400
steve hilton you just got my vote you just won my vote uh you know i don't usually pay too much
00:48:37.600
attention to state politics but uh yeah that's all i want to hear i want to hear that you're you've done
00:48:45.280
something that's real because you think it's important to try to stop all the fraud i think
00:48:53.040
california's biggest problem is fraud because everything that happens here looks a little
00:48:58.720
suspicious you know it doesn't matter what you're looking at how about that bullet train uh where'd all
00:49:05.440
that money go how about uh you know rebuilding after the uh the fire uh nothing's been rebuilt
00:49:14.560
i mean one house maybe what's going on there's somebody is there some criminal thing that's stopping it
00:49:21.600
it it couldn't just be incompetence could it i don't know so yes i believe that uh rooting up the fraud
00:49:30.640
is essential i i think that having a fraud tip line would only be a small part of what they need
00:49:37.680
and i'm going to say it again uh i believe that zero tax money should ever be allocated for anything
00:49:46.720
that does not have a robust well-defined audit procedure
00:49:52.560
so if somebody said we need a billion dollars to build this thing i say all right let's start with
00:49:59.360
how are you going to audit it on a regular basis so it doesn't get stolen if the answer is uh
00:50:06.000
oh well uh we will we'll do something about it then no it doesn't matter if it's a good idea it's
00:50:13.760
clearly if you don't have an auditing procedure set up that's good and you know i i make a big difference
00:50:20.000
between some waving your hand audit procedure versus a very you know let's say a third party
00:50:26.960
uninterested party who's just paid to audit the hell out of it if i were a big consulting company
00:50:34.800
um and there are lots of them i would be pitching this as uh something that i can do for your state
00:50:41.920
i would say if you give me 10 million dollars a year um i'll make sure that we audit all this stuff
00:50:50.560
and we're not we don't even live in the state we're just consultants so you don't have to worry about us
00:50:56.160
trying to get our own beak wet we will change out our uh auditors every year so if you were a consulting
00:51:05.200
company and you wanted to make sure that you didn't become the problem by you know getting yourself
00:51:11.360
into this potential money laundering situation where you could you could launder it yourself
00:51:17.520
if you're a consulting company just say well we have lots of consultants and we'll make sure that
00:51:23.040
the ones that work on your state do one year they just do one year and then you have much less chance
00:51:30.480
that they get embedded and turn it into a criminal enterprise
00:51:33.680
yeah anyway um so the uh according to npr the state department is going to deny visas
00:51:44.080
to fact checkers and others who were involved in any kind of censorship
00:51:49.200
now i don't mind that as a standard i don't think the fake fact checkers and the fake censors should be
00:51:58.880
allowed into the country but it does make me wonder how many there are that you need it you need a
00:52:04.960
separate you know standard for that are there a lot of fact checkers trying to get into the country
00:52:11.920
who had fact checked us and uh in a way we don't like i don't know just kind of open question well
00:52:21.760
according to davis health university of oh the university of california davis
00:52:26.800
um there's a study that suggests that there's a brain nutrient
00:52:37.120
that if you don't have enough of it it might create anxiety and they found out that
00:52:45.120
if you eat more eggs the eggs have this uh this nutrient what's it called
00:52:50.880
uh choline c-h-o-l-i-n-e so if your choline levels are low in your brain
00:52:57.600
it's correlated with they haven't proven causation but it's correlated with anxiety so i went to grok
00:53:06.000
and i asked the questions that the article was missing and the main question was are people eating
00:53:12.640
more or less eggs than they ever did and the answer is people are probably eating more eggs now
00:53:20.240
than they did in the 40s so that would suggest that we were less likely to have a anxiety caused by
00:53:28.240
this shortage but we observe that people's anxiety seems to be worse lately than compared to the old
00:53:36.560
days so i'm not sure i buy this maybe there's a correlation but not a causation
00:53:41.920
but eggs are apparently good for you all right um so hakeem jeffries has finally grudgingly agreed
00:53:55.040
that president trump uh should get credit for closing the border which is now secure
00:54:01.920
fox news says that and uh jeffrey says of course he'll get credit for that
00:54:06.720
to which i'm thinking huh i'm actually surprised uh aren't you surprised that even though it's so
00:54:14.400
obvious that uh trump closed the border and the other leaders did not are you surprised
00:54:21.840
that one of the top democrats just even admitted it instead of changing the subject so i guess that's
00:54:29.120
the part that's interesting it's just that he said it at all well that might be because the uh
00:54:35.920
it could be the polling shows that people care less about the border because they consider it a
00:54:41.600
solved problem so it might be that you know there's no benefit to arguing that trump didn't close it
00:54:48.720
you know it's well that's old news it's closed moving on see if we have any other problems besides that
00:54:54.400
um so i i saw on ms now which used to be msnbc on lawrence o'donnell's show i think it was last night
00:55:07.120
that uh he had chuck schumer on and the two of them were introducing their newest hoax
00:55:12.880
um have you heard the new hoax about affordability all right you can tell that they're introducing a hoax
00:55:20.640
by looking at their faces with the sound off there's a certain smile that democrats do when
00:55:28.160
they're introducing a hoax and it's like this all right i've got a suspicious smile on i'm going to
00:55:36.720
introduce a new hoax and the hoax goes like this no i'm not smiling i'm not i'm not too happy about it
00:55:45.200
stop it stop it stop it i i i'm trying not to smile to give away the fact oh god i'm smiling again
00:55:52.400
i'm smiling uh okay ignore my creepy smile because this is how i introduce a hoax are you ready for
00:56:00.960
the hoax the hoax is that president trump is the only human being out of seven billion human beings
00:56:09.840
he's the only one who believes that affordability doesn't matter that's right because it's based on
00:56:18.560
something he said well i'm not going to quote what he said or put it in context because then you'll know
00:56:25.280
it's a hoax do you know how else you could know it's a hoax look at my creepy smile and lawrence
00:56:32.720
o'donnell has his creepy smile too we got two creepy smiles yeah that's how we introduce the hoaxes
00:56:39.680
because we know it's a hoax but we're trying to see if you're dumb enough to believe that there's
00:56:44.800
actually any human being who doesn't understand that affordability matters to people who don't have
00:57:01.040
all right that's enough of that stop it you're right jeep guy i need to just stop making that face
00:57:09.840
but i didn't start it that's uh that's a chuck schumer face
00:57:16.480
anyway no it is not true that trump is the only person on the world
00:57:22.320
who doesn't understand that affordability matters
00:57:28.880
so i was thinking to myself how are we doing on affordability
00:57:32.720
so i made a little list of the things we talk about when we talk about affordability
00:57:38.000
and let's uh see how trump is doing how is he doing on eggs well really well the price of eggs is
00:57:46.720
down and i do think we can attribute that to the actions of the trump administration
00:57:52.880
now probably the egg prices would have drifted back to normal uh anyway but i do think that uh
00:58:00.000
trump goosed it his people did a good job so we'll give him eggs how about gas gas definitely
00:58:07.760
um certainly the uh the trump instinct to go for maximum drilling and drill baby drill and getting
00:58:17.120
rid of obstacles for that yeah that definitely caused the gas prices to go down so we'll give him eggs
00:58:23.520
we'll give him gas what about groceries in general no to groceries in general especially beef
00:58:31.520
uh not so good they're they're still high and even if they're not inflating much from where they are
00:58:40.480
they're kind of too high so um now keep in mind that it doesn't mean that trump gets the
00:58:47.920
the credit or the blame for every kind of price and every kind of situation it's just is what it is
00:58:54.400
groceries are high what about rent well the recent news is that rents have actually fallen a little
00:59:02.480
bit from october to november don't know if that's a pattern yet but it would make perfect sense if
00:59:09.120
you paired it with the the knowledge that uh 2.5 million uh people have been deported that should create
00:59:17.440
a little bit less demand a little less demand means a little lower rents and sure enough
00:59:24.240
of one percent lower so he gets i'll give him rent could be more but we'll give him that how about
00:59:29.920
interest rates well he's been working pretty hard to get those interest rates down and i believe they're
00:59:36.800
lower than they were is that true lower than when he took office but they'll definitely be lower when he
00:59:43.440
gets his own hand chosen fed uh you know fed head in charge so i'd expect i'd expect the inflation uh
00:59:53.600
interest rates to go down what about inflation uh inflation is not great but it's not terrible
01:00:00.640
it's sort of just limping along so it's not the worst thing in the world but you know it could be
01:00:06.240
better uh what about automobiles well i don't know if we've seen the impact yet um especially because
01:00:15.760
there would be tariffs on automobiles from other countries but um he did recently get rid of that
01:00:24.000
biden era idea that uh your your gas powered car would have to get 51 miles to the gallon on average
01:00:33.280
so he got rid of that which should cause more availability of low-end cars that uh would cost
01:00:41.760
people less because the gas would be less and um and then the cost of the car would be less if it's
01:00:48.480
purchased uh if it's built in america then you don't have the tariff problem so automobiles i'll give him
01:00:55.440
that uh i don't think we've seen the drop yet but he's done the right thing to get that drop and what
01:01:01.280
about entertainment um entertainment doesn't seem like that's going down maybe it's going up i don't know
01:01:08.880
but entertainment's not the most important thing in the world
01:01:14.080
so here's my take um on affordability trump's actually done pretty well if you look at all the
01:01:23.040
categories pretty well there's a lot more you could do and we would like him to do more and
01:01:27.920
it looks like he is but uh he's going for it um and then i was thinking about the you know what would
01:01:37.760
you do to make food less expensive and i'm going to give you some brainstorming on that on that topic
01:01:46.800
these are not meant to be great ideas the way brainstorming works is you just throw in some
01:01:53.120
ideas that maybe you hadn't thought of before and then it spurs you or encourages you to think of your
01:01:59.840
own ideas and if there's more ideas there's a greater chance that one of them will be useful
01:02:07.040
so i'm just going to throw out some ideas for reducing costs number one idea would be to have
01:02:15.120
some kind of mechanism where local farmers could more directly and legally sell to consumers so where
01:02:23.200
i live you might have the same situation on the weekend there'll be a farmer's market and but i
01:02:30.560
would have to get in the car and drive to the farmer's market and it doesn't have everything that
01:02:36.000
i'd want doesn't have meat for example um so there's some things i think the government probably prevents
01:02:43.680
like meat is my guess um but suppose you removed obstacles and said yeah the farmer's market can
01:02:52.160
deliver it to your house deliver right to your house so then if i didn't have to drive to it
01:02:58.640
and it was the local farmer so that would cut out a bunch of steps and a bunch of people taking a cut
01:03:06.400
could i get it cheaper i feel like i could so there's probably something you could do
01:03:13.280
that would make food a lot more accessible and cheaper if you just got rid of all the middle people
01:03:19.840
and said okay the farmer can sell this now would it be more dangerous yes it would
01:03:27.600
probably because you can imagine there'd be you know a farmer who didn't meet all the standards etc
01:03:34.880
but here's what i think don't you think the farmers eat all their own food
01:03:41.120
if you're a farmer and you're selling beef you don't think you're eating the beef yourself of course you
01:03:47.440
are if you're growing a certain vegetable you don't think that the farmer's family is eating that
01:03:53.040
vegetable of course they are what would make you feel more safe eating the same food as the person who
01:03:59.440
grew it or some government entity told you it was okay i don't know you you might be more comfortable
01:04:07.920
eating what the farmer eats um how about if you started a uh a government grocery store stop stop
01:04:18.720
you're just assuming a bunch of things that i'm not going to say wait till i say it and then tell me
01:04:24.320
if you like it or not okay and in the government grocery store it wouldn't try to reproduce every kind
01:04:30.560
of the product there wouldn't be any um of the highly processed foods wouldn't be any none but it
01:04:40.000
would also be a very limited set of choices that were designed to be affordable and because it's a
01:04:47.680
limited set of choices you can bring down your expense of providing them let's say it was only chicken for
01:04:55.520
protein and maybe two or three kinds of fish that are you know accessible and easy that's all your
01:05:02.560
proteins and then let's say it's not every exotic vegetable in the world but you definitely have
01:05:08.960
broccoli people like broccoli and whatever are let's say the top five vegetables so everybody's got one
01:05:15.680
that they like um and and so let's say your grocery store has i'll just pick a number 25 goods but
01:05:27.200
they're the ones that most people would eat they wouldn't be delighted because it wouldn't be that many
01:05:33.120
choices but there's a lot you can do with chicken you know what i mean you know once you get a home you
01:05:39.920
can make it taste you know any variety of ways so i think the thing that the so-called government
01:05:48.320
grocery stores have done wrong is probably tried to produce the same amount of choices as a regular
01:05:55.360
grocery store that's probably where they go wrong i would like an option if i had very low income an
01:06:03.680
option to have more boring food but it's really easy to get and it's cheap i'll accept boring because
01:06:11.920
i'll i'll spice it up on my end it doesn't have to be exciting on your end anyway that's one idea and
01:06:19.200
then another one this is really interesting there's a futuristic dome for growing food new atlas has a
01:06:26.720
story about this so instead of the old greenhouse they figured out this dome where the bottom levels
01:06:34.720
of the dome are a variety of fish and i think there are several layers of just fish and then they
01:06:41.520
contribute to the ecosystem that feeds the dome so that the dome is as close as you can get to a
01:06:48.560
a self-contained self-fertilizing um situation and it requires a little bit of technology so i think you
01:07:00.480
need to move things around with technology and probably you need some ai to know what needs some
01:07:07.440
attention so you don't need too many humans in there but apparently this is already built and uh
01:07:15.600
already been demonstrated to work so at the expo 2025 osaka kansai in japan um they've already produced
01:07:25.600
one and it's a farm to table but the farm would be just this dome and let's see what else it says
01:07:35.600
um the fact that it already exists makes this a lot more interesting it's not it's not uh theoretical
01:07:43.040
so it's a seven meter diameter 23 foot dome um and it it's meant to sort of uh imitate what a real
01:07:55.440
earth situation would be for each of the levels and it's a futuristic greenhouse well i think that's
01:08:02.400
where we're heading so imagine if you started your city with a futuristic greenhouse that would serve every
01:08:12.080
maybe 10 homes uh and then you just build around that what salmon is the best to buy well don't get me
01:08:24.080
started on salmon you don't want to hear it well in other news hawaii is suing tick tock for what they
01:08:34.240
consider harm to children and they think that tick tock has built a platform to be dangerously addictive
01:08:42.000
for young users now do you think that that's true do you think that they built it to be dangerously
01:08:50.800
addictive well i don't think they meant it to be dangerous but i'm wondering about where do you draw
01:08:58.720
the line if if i sell you a dilbert calendar for 2026 and you open it up and you go oh oh my god
01:09:10.160
oh my god oh my god it's oh these i i am so happy i got a dilbert calendar wait wait oh my god there
01:09:18.480
there are cartoons on both sides oh both sides this is new oh my god
01:09:23.680
and then you can see my my dopamine is is firing i can barely help it i mean i'm just like
01:09:33.680
now when i make the dilbert calendar irresistible because it's so good am i going to get sued by
01:09:42.080
hawaii will hawaii allow the dilbert calendar to be sold good question right so although i'm joking
01:09:51.840
sort of a little bit although i'm joking there is a real question here about freedom and about
01:10:02.800
what's the difference between really really liking something and being addicted because of the
01:10:09.120
dopamine hit i don't know how you could ever make that distinction because again the dilbert calendars
01:10:17.280
so dopamine you know tickling good that i don't know what you do good luck hawaii good luck tick tock
01:10:28.800
um i haven't talked about the situation with tina peters who's a grandmother who's in jail because she
01:10:36.800
tried to um find out if the uh the voting machines were rigged and i guess she gave somebody access
01:10:46.080
to them that she should not have given access to for the purpose of finding out if there was some
01:10:52.720
crime that had been committed now she's a cancer survivor she's 70 years old and she got what nine
01:11:00.480
years in prison now can you think of a situation where somebody technically violated a law which she did
01:11:10.400
she technically violated the law but her intentions were good and there was no victim you get nine years for
01:11:21.440
that your intentions are good not for yourself this is very important her intentions were for the public good
01:11:31.120
let me say that again her intention very clearly was for a public good what she did for herself was take a
01:11:41.920
gigantic risk for the public good and there were no victims and indeed i don't know what happened with the
01:11:53.280
with the access and whether everybody found anything but aren't you happy that she did that now i know you
01:12:01.280
can't just let anybody break any law they want because they think it's a good idea to break it i i get that
01:12:07.440
you have to have something like you know law and order for even things where it's not obvious there would
01:12:14.000
ever be any victim i get it i get it but what would be the right penalty for someone who took a risk
01:12:21.520
upon themselves with nothing to gain for themselves for the benefit of the larger community
01:12:30.640
and there's no victim and there wasn't really an uh there wasn't really a chance that there would
01:12:36.960
ever be a victim it wasn't an accident that there was no victim it's obvious there would be no victim
01:12:44.800
we would either find out something we didn't know or we wouldn't that's it yeah i'm thinking six months
01:12:51.520
probation would be about the right thing for that now trump has entered the uh the debate on this and
01:12:59.200
on her side uh but he does not have the power to pardon her because i guess the charges are state charges but
01:13:07.040
uh i guess the colorado democrat governor democrat governor jared polis um is keeping her in and is not
01:13:17.280
is uh not going to free her i do think this probably needs to be a bigger uh a bigger issue
01:13:26.480
and i do think that if this uh if this governor gets reelected
01:13:31.840
and is keeping her in jail for purely political reasons uh i don't think he should be reelected
01:13:42.080
that's all i'm saying that's just horrible behavior horrible and i think trump is uh accurately found
01:13:50.160
another 80 20 issue it how many people think she should be in jail now it's not even really
01:13:58.400
democrat versus republican is it i mean really not really um so this seems like an 80 20 to me
01:14:14.480
um here's another funny story apparently uh i didn't know it but there was a thing called the u.s
01:14:20.880
institute of peace which i guess the government the federal government funds
01:14:26.800
but it supposedly operates somewhat independently trump is trying to cut their budget but i guess they
01:14:36.640
use the law to try to fight that off so they're in some kind of weird gray area where the government
01:14:45.040
gives them money but doesn't have full control over their activities so what trump did because he
01:14:52.640
couldn't cleanly just take take their funding away and close them down uh he changed their name
01:15:04.080
this is very funny he changed their name and and put the new name
01:15:11.520
on their building so that they can't even cover it up easily and the new day
01:15:16.400
the new name is the uh the president trump uh i don't know u.s institute of peace or something so he
01:15:27.040
put his own name on it oh no it's the donald j trump institute of peace and it actually it actually
01:15:32.800
says that over the door now all right now that's just funny we're gonna be so sad when we ever get a
01:15:41.680
normal president because i mean seriously can't you imagine what the meeting was like when they came
01:15:49.200
up with that idea they must have been roaring with laughter it's like all right we didn't get what we
01:15:55.200
want but we're gonna get some fun out of this it's the donald j trump institute of peace
01:16:12.080
derek chauvin who as you know is in jail for being convicted for murdering uh george floyd allegedly
01:16:21.760
um so he's uh he's trying to get a new trial and uh his arguments are well he's got a good argument
01:16:31.600
um for a new trial but here is my take derek chauvin was convicted in a very different environment than we
01:16:41.600
have today at the time if you had been a juror and you had not convicted him you might be in physical
01:16:50.560
danger for not convicting not voting to convict him i don't think that's the case now and we also
01:16:57.680
believed or a lot of people believe that there was a big problem with uh black citizens being killed by
01:17:04.240
white policemen but now we know that was never the case there was not a big problem or any problem really
01:17:11.680
it was not above you know any kind of baseline so if you knew
01:17:19.840
if you knew that we do not have this big problem and you knew that you were not personally in danger
01:17:29.200
uh if you had voted to you know let him go but here's the other big thing do you remember what we
01:17:35.760
thought of doctors during the george floyd's uh era that's when we still believed the doctors were credible
01:17:47.760
and so there were several doctors who said oh yeah that's totally murder
01:17:53.520
and the jurors being normal citizens believe that uh oh if you know if doctors say that it was murder
01:18:03.600
you know who am i to doubt the doctor now fast forward to 2025 we do not automatically think doctors
01:18:12.880
are credible in fact doctors have been quite unreliable secondly we know that people were probably being
01:18:23.680
influenced by the um just the feeling of the day that there was some kind of you know horrible thing
01:18:32.480
happening to black citizens that wasn't happening to white citizens but we don't really think that's
01:18:37.920
true anymore or at least people are paying attention no it's not so i would suggest that the same set of facts
01:18:46.880
that got him convicted if it were to happen today exactly the same way i don't know
01:18:55.120
i feel like at least one juror would have said nope so i think is oh and also he wasn't allowed to
01:19:04.240
introduce the fact that they were trained to do it that way really wasn't allowed to say that
01:19:25.440
um apparently there's a new app called vantor from vantor tech where it looks like they've
01:19:33.200
simulated the entire earth down to about a three meter difference now imagine if you will
01:19:45.360
um the ability to create a simulation if you could simulate the entire world with an app
01:19:52.720
all you need now is to add characters could you add characters oh god and so much pain
01:20:00.960
all right i i'm gonna have to end early um i did all the stories that i cared about the most
01:20:08.000
except that i think we should look at humanoid robots to mine our rare earth materials turns out
01:20:16.880
there are several companies working on robots for rare earth material mining so that's happening all
01:20:24.160
right everybody that's all i got for today thanks for joining uh locals i'm not going to try to do a
01:20:30.080
separate after show today i'm not sure the technology even works but i will see all of you tomorrow
